INSISTS THAT TIIE WORK OF REBUILniNG THE ANCIENT JEWISH HOMELAND IS A TASK FOR ALL ELE¬ MENTS IN THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL
Edwin J, Schanfarher lias nn uncanny intuition wlien it comes to arranging meeting;;. lie knows exactly wliom to invite as tlie cliief speaker and at tlie same time knftws how to Ret together the riglit type of aiuUcncc. Last Friday, March 22nd, he hrought Colonel Fred¬ erick H. Kisch, of London, England, to this city. This distinguished soldier and diplomat, who has been honored by Jews and Gentiles in every section of thc world, was thc guest of honor on that dale of the Board of Directors oi thc United Jewish Fund of Columhus at a noon luncheoii at the Neil Iiouse.
The colonel spoke before the Board on "Thc Jew And The Modern World" with special reference to thc Jewish peo¬ ple's duty in connection with the rehabili¬ tation of tlie Holy Land. In au address, couched in thc purest of "King's Eng¬ lish," this unique Jew ami humanitarian told of his numerous surveys of what has been going on in Palestine during the past forty years.
An Unshirkablc Obligation
After reviewing the progress made in the Land of Israel, Col. Kisch spoke in part as follows; "Yon and I, ladies and gentlemen, dare iiot shirk our obligations to thc most sublime ideal ever entrusted to our people. The whole civilized world is wa'tching ns. They arc waiting to see what our reaction to the achieve¬ ments of the Chalutzim in Palestine will -he.
"If you will visit this beautiful land tn the heart of Asia Minor," he asserted, "you will be astonished at its remarkable transformation. In the last 12 yea^ over sixty million dollars have been in¬ vested in the Holy Land. Thousands of acres of land, heretofore neglected and unproductive, have been reclaimed. Swamps have been drained, trce.s and other plants' have been planted. Tn short, the country is being rejuvenated. In every respect it is experiencing a renaissance."
;'The speaker then went on to prove that' "Zionism is no longer a glaring, platitudinous generality." He reiterated what had already been said here regard¬ ing this matter by another Zionist speaker, declaring emphatienlly that "Zionism today is a blazing, throbbing reality. Its beneficent and healing ac¬ tivities in Palestine have already been instrumental in reviving thc classical Hebrew tongue and the ancient He¬ braic culture.
Tic^ontinucd, "has laid the foundations of a rejuvenated Jewish Homeland from which will radiate, to all corners of the world, influences both salutary and inspiring."
Visits of Prominent Men
Colonel Kisch also spoke of the visits to Palestine recently made by prominent English, French, and American Jews. He referred in particular to the two visits made by Felix M. Warburg, noted New York financier and philanthropist. He quoted thc latter aa a distinct advo¬ cate of rehabilitation lyork in Eretz Yisroel, "one who realizes in all its grandeur and greatness the potentiali¬ ties of the 'Altnculand.'"
"Thc Basle Programme," declared Kisch, "is now being endorsed by our outstanding co-retigitinists. In 18i)7 Theodore Herzl, the peerless Jewish leader, deflned the object of Zionism to be "tlie establislimcnt of a publicly recognized and legally secured homeland for the Jewish people in Palestine. Jews of all types and descriptions have been brought together upon tliis common .plat¬ form; rich and poor, Russian ns well as German, Polish as well as American, Canadian as well as French. Within the ranks of the World Zionist Organi¬ zation today may be foinid men of radi¬ cal as well as conservative tendencies, orthodox Jews as well as freethinkers, capitalists as well as Socialists."

He thtu spoke briefly on the diverse
irtivitios of the Hadassah in Palestine, stressing its splendid Iiealth and sani¬ tation projects. He al.>;o referred in glowing terms to the fine education system inaugurated in the Holy Land. Pungent Phrnscs
